Mind blown

I just don’t get it. This is the 4th time playing this course and every single time we have the same problem. For some reason this course allows groups of 5,6,7 and yes…8 players to group up and play. There is absolutely no enforcement of pace of play, no enforcement of groups larger than 4 holding up the entire course, It’s to nice of a course to be treated like some 3rd rate beer guzzling municipal course.
My playing partner and I skipped an entire hole to get around a group of 6 that was spraying the ball all over the place. Frustrating!

Good, but not as good as it has been in the past.

We started on time. Realized our score card was used at the first green. Cart died on the 2nd tee box. We called the pro shop and they promptly replaced it (with a new score card). The replacement cart’s sand jugs were empty so we could not replace our divots.

Other than that, the fairways and greens were in decent shape and we had a good time. I’ll keep coming back.

League Play = Slow Play

We had a tee off time of 10:40 AM on a Sunday, but had to wait for three groups to still tee off before we could start our round. They have a league play in the mornings and backed up the rest of the schedule. We got 11 holes in 4 hours and then called it quits.

The Rock, rocks!

I have played here several times and will continue to make the trip. I’ve played courses for twice the money and half as nice. The greens are money for this early in the season. Only negative, no ball washers, anywhere.

Played the day before Labor Day weekend. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Greens rolled well. Bunkers could use a little work but not terrible. Staff was great. Pace a little slow but I joined up with 2 other singles and we finished in just over 4 hours. Great course, will be back.

Birthday Golf

Beautiful mountain course with relatively small greens that are in excellent condition. Some patchiness in fairways but not too bad. I love this course, I will return. Great scenic mountain vistas. Don’t forget your 3-Iron!
